Within it lies
Growing steadily
With each passing moment
Only silent companionship
Numbs the excruciating pain
A silent understanding and loving care
For one another
Allows me to smile
Now you are lost
And the pain is all too real
Blind with rage and anguish
I scream with pain and never endinig sorrow
Hoping you will return to me
All the while my hopes are in vain
Silent tears of blood I now shed
Staining the white carpet red
While the void grows
Soon I will numb myself to the pain once more
But nothing will compare
To your silent companionship
*Dedicated to my cat B.B. Who has gone missing
Lonliness is my life.
Its cold grip clasps around my fragile neck.
While it squeezes the life within.
I struggle to fight it.
But I'm weakened.
I speak......
And am not heard.
I cry.......
And am not seen.
I ask for help......
And am ignored.
Why must I fight this beast?
This beast of loneliness.
When I am surrounded by friends.
Still......
This beast creeps and crawls within.
Clawing and tearing into my flesh.
Devouring me greedily from within.
I drown out its sorrowful crys.
With knowledge and books.
I pretend that it does not lurk within.
I tell myself that it isn't there.
While it gnaws a little more.
And now I am only a shell.
The beast is quite fat.
It is only a matter of time....
Before it emerges....
From within
